C19th AD
Image description

In 19th-century Siam, almost every young male in the royal family entered the 'sangha' or Buddhist monkhood as a rite of passage. The tonsure ceremony was an initial act of this rite as all novices must have their heads shaved to enter the monastic order. The tradition survives to this day, not just among Thai royalty, but at all levels of society.
